Turns out that Bros have been using pictures of themselves with wildlife to get laid, and New York State has had enough of it. Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed a bill that prevents the public from having contact with big cats at traveling animal shows and fairs. While it’s not specifically targeting people who love taking photos of themselves with large pussies, it seems to be a consequence of the bill.
The weirdest thing about this is that according to reports, taking a picture of yourself with a tiger seems to an effective, or at least thought to be effective, means of meeting hot women. Tigers are helping them hunt for love and meet women; so much that approximately 10% of the profiles on the app tinder have pictures of dudes with tigers.
Using animals as photo props has become so popular that the New York State Assembly, in June, banned people from taking photographs with big cats. “Hugging, patting or otherwise touching” tigers, lions, jaguars, leopards and cougars is now punishable by a $500 fine.
Personally, I’m not sure how posing with somewhat domesticated tigers will increase your sex appeal, but it seems to be catching on so much that there is even an entire tumblr blog dedicated to men who love to snuggle up to a big cat.
According to State Rep. Linda Rosenthal, who created the bill, tiger attacks are a serious problem with people who take pictures of themselves with them. In the last fifteen years there has been a total of seven attacks in New York State, which I guess is extreme amount worthy of a new bill.
Good news is that according to Ms. Rosenthal, as per her interview with the New York Post, men can still take pictures of themselves with bears and monkeys.
Rep. Rosenthal’s next big legislation? She plans to introduce a bill that will make it illegal for your cat or dog to become alternative: banning animal tattooing or piercing.
